Painting The Devil

When You Paint
the Devil
Make sure the impression
You leave on your brush
is not drawn from assumptions

The News today is famous
for trying to pass
false portraits
as originals
thus
the integrity
of the product
being
broadcasted
is tainted
leaving the
audience
between a
purgatory
of fiction
and realism....

I guess the theory
is
that the individual
is no longer capable
of thinking freely, logically
and coming to their
own conclusions

In essence
the public is treated
as though
we are made up of
Plastic, Steel and Wire
Like a robot
with the expectation
that the programmed
information
will be regurgitated

Ironically
Society's Provost
has forewarned us
with the dangers
of manipulation
and armed us
with enlightened
terms
like "Gaslighting",
Yet the very ones
preaching this
propaganda
are the ones
holding the
valves
outside
the chamber
Thereby
Transforming the Executioner
into the artist
and the artist
into the intended
Holocaust...................
